Hello Guest!
Welcome to the official Square Foot Gardening Forum.
There's lots to learn here by reading as a guest. However, if you become a member (it's free, ad free and spam-free) you'll have access to our large vermiculite databases, our seed exchange spreadsheets, Mel's Mix calculator, and many more members' pictures in the Gallery. Enjoy.

I like having reference material. What I want is a book, or books that teach me about the individual plants and their needs. Geared toward vegtables is great. Also towards attracting bees and butterflies. I like pictures...I am a very visual person.

I just picked up and have been loving, Rodale's Vegetable Garden Problem Solver (the best and latest advice for beating pests, diseases, and wees and staying a step ahead of trouble in the garden). It's got an alphabetized listing of common veggies, their needs, a variety of common and some not so common ailments, the best way to start plants, keep them healthy, etc...It's not a huge tome, it's practical, and I've been using it nearly daily just to enjoy for future garden planning and to see what I need to do if I choose to be more proactive about my pest problems, etc....LOVE it and think it's the best book purchase I've made, second to Mel's SFG book.
